Connectivity

Long-range, low-power monitoring, anywhere.

By adding NB-IoT and expanding our proprietary LoRa network, Augos measures far more than electricity, and reaches sites cellular can't serve economically. Temperature, tank level, flow and equipment status, over long distances, on very little power.

The short version

Beyond electricity: a wider set of measurements

Adding NB-IoT and expanding our proprietary LoRa network changes what the Augos platform can reach. Where we once focused on energy, these links let us gather a much wider range of operational and environmental data:

In short, Augos can now monitor and manage almost any asset, almost anywhere.

Proven in the field

The value shows in real South African deployments across very different industries:

Why it matters in South Africa

Long-range, low-power connectivity is what makes smart monitoring accessible across the country's vast, low-density areas. By pairing local telecoms with our own LoRa infrastructure, Augos brings remote, auditable data collection to agriculture and mining, even where normal cellular is impractical or cost-prohibitive.

New reach, in critical sectors

Because the links work where others can't, they open up monitoring that wasn't viable before:

The result is deeper, more reliable insight into operations, and decisions backed by data rather than guesswork.

Common questions

What is the primary benefit of NB-IoT and LoRa?

Long-range, low-power connectivity. Sensors report over long distances on minimal power, which makes it viable to monitor remote locations where traditional cellular is impractical or too expensive to run.

Can Augos monitor more than electricity now?

Yes. The expanded connectivity lets the platform gather temperature, tank and reservoir levels, flow, light intensity, noise and remote equipment status, so you can monitor almost any asset, almost anywhere.

Is this proven in South Africa?

Yes. LoRa handles tenant billing at GrandWest, connects Prieska farmers in an Eskom load-curtailment programme, and runs whole-farm management, from food quality to fire safety and generators, at Babylonstoren.
